For years I collected cork from wine bottles. I don't know why. They were nice to me. The same, yet different
from each other. Small variations of the same: form, color, texture. I've
always been attracted to that. In addition, I liked the process of collecting,
which lasted, then occasional stains, trace of wine, or damages that the cork
would earn when opening a bottle. Small (non)perfection.

My friend Marko Crnobrnja helped me in making the letters
that are attached to the cork. Of course, my dear friend, the carpenter, made
​​the wooden stand for the stamps, and the bookbinder made the box. Papa V, as
always, made ​​the photos. I thank them all from the heart!

As an art educator I believe that art (specially open-ended art) is very important for kids. I also believe that kids need play almost as much as they need air. This is a space where I write about things that I make for my kids (ages 6 and 3) to play with, about things that I make and art activities that I do together with them.
